Abstract: The social economy is an innovative model of economic and social development; its tools support the inclusion of socially disadvantaged people while they simultaneously create jobs. Social entrepreneurship is a new area of business activity, which favours social objectives before profit. In the European education systems, the social economy is still undervalued and it has not enough attention, so in order to develop its concept is desirable to place an emphasis on education not only experts, but also the general public in formal and next education system. This paper focuses on some areas of the promotion of social entrepreneurship in the European area and highlights the need of education about the social economy as a determinant of the development of this sector.
